Curated shortlist
States to consider for lower taxes
Taxes depend on income, property value, deductions and local rules. This is a starting point based on the comparable statewide rates published here, not a personal tax estimate.
How this shortlist works
Each listed measure receives equal weight after being scaled against the national range. A score only compares these states on these measures; it is not a quality grade.
